Looks like the starting grid is getting ever bigger in the FIA GT! :cool: if only it was shown on UK television :(

here is a bit of info from December 30th 2004's Autosport magazine I just scanned, and if you click the link at the bottom of this post, I have posted a much bigger scan ;)

I am going to have to come also, 2006 is the official team entry, but that Australian team might do some good in 2005 :D

konigsegg going into racing should be almost unbeatable. le mans 24hr they might need new design for that.

It's great that Koenigsegg will be racinig in GT but i have a question. What engine they're going to use because CC8S and CCR has 4.7L supercharged engine and from what i remember in FIA GT you can have NA up to 6.0L or super/turbocharged up to 4.0L.

Nah thats only turbo, supercharged lets you have more displacement

wow, i didn't realize that they were racing the CCR. It'll be banned for sure. I can smell it. It's too powerful.

Dont think so, it's getting more and more a true worldchampionship. The FIA is getting them out of Europe, and planning races all over the world, just like they're doing with the F1
